Group leader: Prof.dr. Albert Polman

Our research theme is: nanophotonics, the control, understanding and application of light at the nanoscale. We investigate:

• Controlling spontaneous emission in plasmonic nanocavities
  Nature Mater. 9, 21 (2010)
• Controlling the flow of light below the diffraction limit
  Phys. Rev. Lett. 102, 203904 (2009)
• Light trapping in thin-film solar cells using plasmonic nanostructures
  Nature Mater. 9, 205 (2010)
• Purcell effect on spontaneous emission and scattering
  Phys. Rev. Lett. 103, 027406 (2009)
• Optical metamaterials with negative index of refraction
  Nature Mater. 9, in press (2010)
